DPiccould a team be created to try to create a machine that is fully supported by gobuntu by contacting vendors of each of the necessary component to fully open up one piece of hardware for the project? 20:33

BurgundaviaDPic: it would be fairly easy to construct such a machine20:45
BurgundaviaDPic: buy an intel mobo with integrated wifi/eth/graphics20:45
MenZaheh20:53

poningruI think what we should start doing is a campaign called 100ubuntu20:56
poningrulist of laptops and features that work 100 percent out of the box in ubuntu20:56
poningrucanonical would test these things and give them that mark20:57
poningruif we want we can also do acording to supported versions too20:57
poningrulike 100 ubuntu 7.0420:57
poningruthe unfortunate thing is ofcourse I dont think some of the hardware compatibility carries over20:59
